Default OJ not pure


There is always someone tinkering with our food
http://c****chdog.com/misc/premium-o...0-percent-pure

It’s a shocker, I know, folks but buying premium orange juice is
carton is not any purer than buying frozen concentrated OJ, unless the
cartons are from Whole Foods’ 365 brand.

ABC News’s Susan Donaldson James blew the whistle on most premium
juices in her recent story revealing that cartons contain secret
ingredients – flavor packs – that are not required to be disclosed.



“After oranges are picked, they are shipped off to be processed. They
are squeezed and pasteurized and, if they are not bound for frozen
concentrate, are kept in aseptic storage, which involves stripping the
juice of oxygen in a process called “deaeration,” and kept in
million-gallon tanks for up to a year,” the article says.

“Before packaging and shipping, the juice is then jazzed up with an
added flavor pack, gleaned from orange byproducts such as the peel and
pulp, to compensate for the loss of taste and aroma during the heating
process. Different brands use different flavor packs to give their
product its unique and always consistent taste. Minute Maid, for
example, has a distinctive candy-sweet flavor.

“Kristen Gunter, executive director of the Florida Citrus Processors
Association, confirmed that juices are blended and stored and that
flavor packs are added to pasteurized juice before shipping to
stores.”
